Responding to the Scottish budget, Darwin Friend, head of research of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said:
“Taxpayers across Scotland will warmly welcome the lifting of tax thresholds, even if this won’t benefit all Scots.
“But with this budget also including a dazzling array of spending pledges, there will rightly be concern about the impact of the fiscal measures on the already fragile public finances.
“Scottish ministers need to ensure that this spending binge is accompanied with meaningful reform of public services.”
